Chesterfield, MI

I have now been here for almost three hours to get loaded, since arriving at 1 PM. Apparently this is not to be considered a long time, since there are more than a few people that have been here since the early morning. We are all here to help unload a component manufacturer that has gone bankrupt. Every place that this place supplied has reps here to make sure they get their stuff out of here. This includes molds, dies, machinery, tools, and any other thing needed to make what ever part was made here. The name of the place is Cadence Innovation and it is insane.

When I got here there were trucks parked everywhere, and apparently on Saturday there were even more, a lot more. The line went out the gate and onto 23 Mile road, where apparently a lot of people got tickets.

This load is supposed to be in Strasburg, VA, tomorrow morning. As of right now there are four pallets assembled for this load. How many more they are waiting on, I have no idea. They guy next to me has been here since around 6 AM, and is just now getting loaded. Despite the fact that his load has been staged behind his trailer since before I got here.

I am thinking that this might end up getting delivered on Friday, since I don't particularly feel like being stuck in VA over the new year waiting for this place to open.
